Dove Summer Glow Review

I have used this stuff for years it’s pretty cheap and you can find it pretty much anywhere,you don’t need to use a mitt to apply it,I’ve always just used my hands but always wash my hands after applying it to each leg and always make sure it’s rubbed in properly on your knees and ankle areas,I’m fair skinned so always get the light/medium I find that after I’ve exfoliated and applied it it more often than not makes my legs itchy for a little while after I’ve put it on but that stops after 30 mins,you can re apply for a darker tan or if you find it’s faded after a couple days just re apply and it evens it all out again,the only thing I don’t like about it is it comes off to quickly even if I haven’t scrubbed my legs in the shower it just disappears

I have naturally olive skin and I love love love this product, not only for the subtle tan it provides but as a good body moisturiser as well. It is non greasy and left my skin looking naturally tanned with no weird build up in areas like the ankles, knees and hands and no orangish tinge that many self tanning products provide. It is a great product to use on the legs when coming into spring/ summer when suffering from dull winter skin and wanting to pull out those summer frocks that have been hiding in the closet.

This stuff is really good to use it every day and you don't need to use another moisturiser if you are using this once a day (unless you have really dry skin). You can get dressed soon after using this but you do want to watch out with light colours, all tanning products are a worry in regards to white clothes. I like how it is more subtle than fake tan but you can use it with fake tan as well. Last for ages too.

This is an excellent product. It is cheap, easy to source (supermarket) and easy to apply. The low level of tint in the product means only the most careless of users can get streaks *ahemMum*. The fact it is also a moisturiser is perfect for time-poor people like me. The end colour is natural-looking and it is easy to control how dark you go. A solid all-round winner of a product.

This gives you a nice gradual tan, and it doesn't turn you orange. Even with just one application I noticed a difference in my colour. Like all fake tans it has that slight distinctive smell, but of all those that I have used, it is relatively mild. It is a bit of a pain having to wait 5 or so minutes before putting clothes on, but it is worth it.

I want to say I loved this lotion, and it was ok. Last summer I used it twice a day. I bought it because I ran out of my usual lotion with a self tanner and couldn't find it anywhere. I chose Dove because they are well known for being good for the skin so I decided they were the best choice. The lotion was nice, smelt fine, way smooth and creamy and didn't leave stains behind like the other brand did sometimes. However the subtle tan was so subtle I couldn't see it with the Dove lotion and the lotion was quite thick so I went through the bottle quicker than usual. All in all, I would get it if I couldn't find anything I liked better. It was lovely on the skin, but gave no subtle tan.

i really like this product! it smells very nice and i found it easy to apply, and it worked straight away too! lasted about 1 week ( yes i showered) GREAT price!

Im half and half with this product, i do quite like it however i did end up a little on the orange side and i definately do not like the smell of it! I also end up a little streaky sometimes as it is quite wet. I apply before bed and wake up with a tan, It lasts a good few days and i just reapply or build it up over 2-3 days to get a darker colour then just re-apply every 4-5 days or so to keep it up. Affordable but a tad too orange for my liking.

If you don't want to do a full on tanning application then this is a great everyday product, not strong smelling, easy to apply and doesn't stain hands. Use post shower and exfoliations and it's pretty even streak free. It's not going to give you full on tanning coverage but a little colour and smooth summoner sun kissed look.

I use this product whenever I know I need to look tanned for something. I can get a really nice tan like I have been out in the sun for weeks in just days. I love how fast this gradual tanner works. The lotion is quite thick and does take a while to dry but I find has a nice fresh scent. I never get any uneven patches when I use this and I find it gives a very natural tan which I like. I found that even if I left a day without reapplying I wouldn't lose the tan straight away even after shaving.
